I would think they'd want their own trucks. Here's why:
For one, it'd stave off comparisons with the teen pizza delivery driver (I like delivery pizza as much as the next guy, but let's face it, they're not a professional-looking workforce)
And there's also the advertising/marketing benefits of having your delivery vehicles (with big Walmart logos on them) being seen in traffic & neighborhoods. FedEx & UPS count that as a competitive advantage.
It also gives them a future business opportunity to compete with FedEx/UPS. Walmart already has a highly efficient distribution system. This would be an extension of it .. they'd just have to add package sorting capabilities (if they're smart, they'd standardize on a few different box sizes).
